Me as well. I did discover using a good rubber cleaner, then B303 worked. My car has never seen more than 2 hours of UV, it's ALWAYS garaged or covered so I think it's just shitty rubber.

Same here...had the passenger side door seal replaced days before my warranty expired. I usually park at work facing East so the sun beats on the passenger side. I was getting some deterioration near the B-pillar near the window. It was a surface issue so I let it go until just before the warranty expired. Gotta maximize that 2 year part replacement warranty.
I have some Gummipflege that I plan to start using. 303 AP as well.

Hmmmm... I think my car may be starting to do the same thing. Unfortunately, it's out of warranty. Any idea the cost to replace?

I have this problem too. My car is still under CPO and I took it in but they said trim is not covered (which is true, but I wanted to try my luck). I assume you guys had it replaced under manufacturer's warranty, not CPO. Does anyone have the part numbers and/or install guide? Is it difficult to do myself? I don't want to end up with water leaks.

Had mine replaced under the 4yr/50k warranty right before it ran out. It was around the windshield where it was going bad. They had to pull the windshield to change it and ended up breaking it so I got a new windshield out of the deal too.

Ive heard bad things about armour all. I bought some gummi which conditioned(softened) it but disnt make it any blacker. The autoglym stuff made it blacker tho so now I'm happy. Not sure how you'd go with warranty. In Australia the dealers are a joke.
